Squaw, Jan 4

I did a solo day trip to Squaw to get some turns in. I had forgotten how much more difficult skiing on the west coast was since I had just spent three days in VT. By the end, I was feeling comfortable on the steep snow, but it took some time!

I hiked up to the left of Granite Chief to get some fresh turns in. Since there had been no freeze/thaw cycle, the snow was quite good!

Big avalanche off Granite Chief! I see tracks down the middle...what happened there?

About Me

I'm a visual effects artist and weekend warrior who slays moderate climbs and ski descents with reasonable frequency. My home away from San Francisco is in the Sierras, and as my friends can attest, I'm verifiably obsessed with my gear and outdoor pursuits. I've found that engaging stories aren't only born out of harrowing excursions by professionals living on the cutting edge . Great tales are a function of travels with quirky, hilarious, and introspective partners along with the mistrials of approaching, the terror, fatigue and calculation of ascending, and the elation of summiting.
